Ungrateful Pre-Teen

sheltojl's picture

non skid (11) is the most ungrateful little brat I have ever had to deal with. Walks in the door and tells me that I answer yes to letting her hang out with her friend, because she texted her dad and said to ask me. I did not reply an answer. Shortly after her and her sister (8) decide to hit each other. The 11 non skid hits her sister few times extra in between I say that "I will hit both of you if you don't knock it off" ( I would never put a finger on them, just saying this to make her quit) she proceeds to hit her not once but twice. I tell her to go up to her room and she says no.

I am tired of being an "assistant parent" to ungrateful little brats. You go out of your way to buy them things (like breakfast foods) you get what they want but in the mini version... Then the texts start.. I don't like it .. It's disgusting... My reply.. If you want something go buy it yourself. I know this pre-teen likes to push my buttons and test the limits.. But it will come back and bite her in the butt.I don't have to do anything... Especially when they ask for you to pick up something on the way home... Simply reply no.

We have finallly made it to the same page

I am very happy my boyfriend and I are finally seeing things eye to eye and on the same page with what the real problems are in our household. This revelation came to their dad over the Christmas holiday, something I have been seeing for months.

Of course one of the biggest problems is the girls' mom... but the other problem are the girls telling their mom and her side of the family so many lies. It's so horrible to live with us.. their dad threatens to beat the crap out of them... I was recorded calling them disgusting.. they don't want to live with their father anymore.

So another day of complaining to the girls dad about not listening... I left the room and went upstairs. He come in and starts in with because I was upset with the way his daughter said something... I was more pissed off with the fact they didn't do anything I asked and he didn't back me up. I explain what upsets me and he whispers pyscho..so I could hear it.. he said this because I recently had the arm implant birth controm. I said maybe I should just take my self out of the situation .. his reply do what you need to do.

Wits End

Some things are getting very old in this household...

Picky eating.... when I would to try to make something different the little comments start "you can make that when we are at my grandma's or I don't like that. I grew up in a household where we ate what we had on our plate or we could go to bed starving. Pretty much anything I make in general someone doesn't like it.

Question for everyone

I was just wondering... what age do you think is appropriate for children to have Facebook, Vine, and Instagram?

The mother of my boyfriend's 10 year old daughter is trying to get her a Facebook account now.. she has instagram and I believe Vine accounts already. I have seen pictures that her mother posts and they are not appropriate at all.

I just want some thoughts on this.. Thank You

I consider myself an "assistant parent". I have beenough living with my boyfriend for three years now, he recently gain custody of his 10 year old and 7 year old daughters in June when their mother took off to California. Things are off and on with myself and the daughters, they will listen and be cooperative one day and the next believe that they don't have to respect me. They know the rules we have set out for them and the expections we have for them. I'm not sure if it has to do with their mother leaving or if they are testing the waters.
